Personal Notes: It's been almost a decade since I first heard Steve Gunn. He was the name I didn't know inthe trio of Marcia Bassett (Double Leopards/ UN) and Pete Nolan (Magik Markers) aka GHQ. I was expecting something loud and abrasive. I wanted it to pull the paint off the wall and shake the apartment. What I got instead was my first introduction to "New Weird America" and the finger styling of one of the best guitarists I had heard at that time.
Super stoked for this show. He is so busy collaborating with so many people I nearly forgot his Kurt vile connection. This is easily a top 5 anticipated set for me this year.
Nice job garageland. If you believe the Roo app numbers Steve is in last place, 107th, with 24 likes. So you, snowman, umphlovecincy, and 21 of your friends at the On tap or Who stage.
While some of these acts seem to be on a cafe level of notoriety, I was under the impression those bands would be announced separate and at a later date as usual. I did walk up to Who Stage at one point last year thinking that's where Kandace Springs was performing and there were just two dudes waiting on the rail for the next act. Kandace was actually just starting at the On Tap Lounge. Anyhow, Steve Gunn was great at Fun Fun Fun. I caught him late in the day in the Yellow Tent. He started out with some psyched out jam and laser show and the performance morphed into laid back freak-folk. He was up against three pre-headliners on the other big stages but still drew a solid crowd to fill out the tent. I look forward to seeing him again at Bonnaroo.

Thanks! I wish I had more time to do a proper bio. Sadly, I've lost power twice in 2 weeks.
If I were going, Gunn would be #3 on my "must see" list (right behind LCD and PJ). No worries though. I'll see him next month, fo sure.
